About us
PC-Progress specializes in the development of GUI (Graphical User Interfaces) for FEM-based software packages for Windows. We have more than fourteen years of experience in developing and delivering programs for numerical modeling in fluid mechanics and structural engineering. Today our programs help thousands of scientists and engineers from around the world and we feel obliged to offer them the best available advanced FEM/CFD software and services.
Technologies
Source codes of our programs already have several millions of lines and more than hundred developers have been involved in their writing over years. Thus, using the most modern technologies available is a necessity that allows us to compete in the global markets. Due to our specialization in desktop applications for Windows, our main programming tools are Microsoft Visual Studio and C++ programming language. For the 3D graphics, we use the standard OpenGL library, including several add-ons, as well as our own relatively extensive libraries. We have a great deal of experience with tools used for managing and sharing source codes, bug-tracking systems, and other tools that enable collaboration during software development. We do not hesitate to invest our financial means and time into new technologies that help to further enhance the quality of our programs and our services.
Our business partners
Ing.-Software Dlubal
Since 1995 we have been very closely collaborating with the German company Ing.-Software Dlubal. We have been involved in the long-term development of its key products RFEM and RSTAB, and as leading programmers we have been working with more than 50 internal and external programmers at this company. Both software packages are among the most successful programs for structural analysis in Europe, and at present are used by more than 6,500 engineering offices.
University of California, Riverside
Since 1994 we have had a close collaboration with Dr. van Genuchten at the US Salinity Laboratory, USDA, ARS and with Prof. Simunek at the University of California Riverside. This fruitful collaboration over the past two decades has resulted in the development of GUIs for a large number of numerical (e.g., HYDRUS-1D, HYDRUS-2D, HYDRUS (2D/3D), HP1, and HYDRUS package for MODFLOW) as well as analytical (e.g., RETC and STANMOD) computer tools for analyzing water flow and/or solute transport processes in soils and groundwater.
